This Modern Sofa Table was a ton of fun to build! It is a perfect sofa side table and fits the mid-century modern style to a T. To build this c-shaped table, I used many different woodworking techniques. The slats are held in with dominos, but you could use dowels or attach a thin strip on the underside to support the top. I created router templates and used a flush-trim bit at the router table to create the shapes for the tapered legs and base.

In this build, I show you how to make a modern console table. I built this console table to have plenty of space to display books, trinkets, accent pieces, and plants. And the minimalistic design of this console table will help make them stand out. This table is great for an entryway, hallway, or living room, and it will complement most design styles.

In this build, I show how to make this ergonomic kneeling chair! The kneeling chair design is based on the original Variable Balans from the 1970’s. I decided to make this dynamic kneeling chair out of ash, but this could easily be made from plywood or any other hardwood. And with the addition of 3-inch cloud-like cushions (high density foam) for the shin rests and seat with an angle, rocking back and forth on this kneeling chair can make even the busiest of workdays a bit more comfortable!

Building these Modern Bar Stools was a fun challenge to undertake. The barstools we had were hand-me-downs from the 90s that were given to us from my in-laws. So, it was definitely time for an update.

When determining the grain direction for your project, you don’t want your wood grain to push joints apart by running them perpendicular to each other. When this can’t be avoided, you just want to allow space for some movement.
